Future you appears and assists you (and has some humorous quotes like: "Listen. I'm not supposed to tell you this, but there's going to be this party that you're invited to. Whatever you do, DO NOT DRINK THE PUNCH!" and "No matter what, you can't die, because would mean that I would cease to exist, right? But, I was here before when I was you. I'm so confused!"

Comment by Acku

Even if you happen to die while killing the elite that spawns at the end, your future self can finish him off and complete the quest for you.

Comment by Xicon

The quest seems to imply that Nozdormu is secretly the leader of the Infinite Dragonflight.

Speculation is that since Nozdormu is "gifted" with the knowledge of where he will die, when he will die, and how he will die, he has created the Infinite Dragonflight in order to change events in Azeroth's history so that it will never come to pass. Of course, as every little children's movie about time travel tells us, fate will find a way to do away with him eventually.

I personally hope that Nozdormu isn't the leader of the Infinites, but you can't deny it'd make one nice plot point.

72,39 ish. faster to run from wintergarde keep.

Comment by ConflictJunkie

Ironic how your future self wears the same gear you do... you'd half expect him to wear Tier 7 or something lol.

As a fury warrior try to stay an even threat with your future self for if you get low hp you can let him out threat you so you can bandage. Very easy quest to solo, just don't tank the elite for too long.

Comment by Jozsipisti

Maybe Nozdormu split into two forms?One is the Bronze form,from the present and one is the Infinte from, from the future ?The Bronze wants to save the hourglass and the Infinte want to prevent the world from a great disaster.

P.S.: I love Prince of Persia XD

Comment by CrimsonX

soo my future self has an ugly haircut, has same gear as me, and 5k less hp, and is level 80...

if that was the future me i would be worried! and why did he say 'get better gear' when he has the same gear as me... thats messed up.

Comment by Herbert

According to the records of what your future self says on Wowwiki, its most likely that they will give your future self much better armor and weapons. Here they are anyway:

Future You whispers: Hey there, <name>, don't be alarmed. It's me... you... from the future. I'm here to help.Future You whispers: Heads up... here they come. I'll help as much as I can. Let's just keep them off the hourglass!Future You whispers: No matter what, you can't die, because would mean that I would cease to exist, right? But, I was here before when I was you. I'm so confused!Future You whispers: Look at you fight; no wonder I turned to drinking.Future You whispers: I can't believe that I used to wear that.Future You whispers: Listen. I'm not supposed to tell you this, but there's going to be this party that you're invited to. Whatever you do, DO NOT DRINK THE PUNCH!Future You whispers: Look, <name>, the hourglass has revealed Nozdormu!Future You whispers: Farewell, <name>. Keep us alive and get some better equipment!

Comment by thundagard

"prevents immortals from entering"...

Um... correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't Draenei immortal? According to WoWwiki, they don't age past adulthood, and they don't die of age. Other "immortals", like Kil'Jaeden, Malygos, and Archimonde... they died... and hell, you're more immortal than them... they have that 1 week respawn timer, and you just have to do a corpse run...

Also, it's impossible to create a paradox by failing this quest - your past/future self can do a corpse run too.

Comment by Sallix

I hope in a future expansion/patch they implement a quest where you go back in time to aid yourself in revealing the leader of the infinite dragonflight, all the while yelling insults at your former self.

Comment by Ionflux

that would be fun

Comment by Mattharon

How to screw up time:

Do this quest, and you'll have the same haircut as your future self, right?

Now do the second part.. but before you do, get a shave and a haircut! But if you get the shave and a haircut, then why did this quest show your Future You with the same haircut as your current self? Wouldn't Future You have a different haircut?

Silly paradoxes!

Comment by MrInfluXion

Was anyone else not able to turn this in at WPL?

I turned it in at the top level of Wyrmrest Temple. The Chromie in WPL isnt the right one.

Comment by Antoridas

Managed to solo as 72 fire mage. Well kind of soloing...I had help. From myself. Is'nt that soloing? well nevermind. Actullay it said that i had completed the quest before i slew the elite drake at the end

Comment by BlackMage66652

Comment by AusSpyder

Apparently my priest re rolls warrior at 80 and then proceeds to stab things with her caster dagger while wearing a dress and having less HP than I do

so I'm guessing i take a hard knock to the head in the next 7 levels

Comment by Slystal

Chromie is kind of dense. You are sent to reveal the leader of the Infinite Dragon Flight. It reveals Nozdormu. Which means it IS Nozdormu. But Chromie is a little scatterbrained for a time traveling dragon.

Its a classic tale of someone knowing that something will happen in the future, so they try to stop it, invariably setting into motion the events that cause it to happen.

Comment by NitroxX

When I did this quest, just a moment ago, that is not what "Future You" says. The two lines:

Future You whispers: Look at you fight; no wonder I turned to drinking.Future You whispers: I can't believe that I used to wear that.

is removed and she looked exactly as my char. Though she says

Future You whispers: Farewell, <name>. Keep us alive and get some better equipment!

Also I don't think Nozdormu is named ;)

Comment by Prospero

I'm sorry, but what is going on with our dragon aspects? Did their warranties all just expire or something?

I mean, from the creation of the world until 10,000 years ago, everything was swell. That's an amazingly good track record by recent standards--not a single act of depraved insanity, genocide, wanton destruction, enslavement of other races, or the like.

Then, 10,000 years ago, Neltharion got all insany-evil, but the Old Gods had been messing with his head, so who can blame him? After that little hiccup, for another 10,000ish years, everything was smooth. Dragons kept up a healthy record of 4/5 for upholding truth, justice, and the Azerothian way.

Flash forward to the aftermath of the Third War. Ysera has completely lost it, and hostile and well-armed expressions of her insanity are cropping up all over the world killing people. Malygos has decided to out-blood-elf the belfs by driving right through the planet's crust to drink its tasty mana-y center. Now we find out that Nozdormu is hell-bent on destroying the world as we know it, possibly out of a selfish desire to extend his own life?

The only dragon aspect that we can apparently trust ATM is Alexstrasza, who was until recently enslaved by the Dragonmaw orcs and providing them with the means to rain firey death on their enemies.

Comment by LttS

I love how my future self (a mage) complains about how inexperienced I am while stabbing the mobs with his dagger and refusing to cast any spells at all :S... Back to Tirisfal with you!

Comment by Zarpd

I'd just like to toss something out there: everyone keeps saying it's likely Nozdormu is likely the leader of the Infinite Dragon Flight, and is attempting to change his future.

Seeing as how time travel has always dealt with fatalism, it's very possible that the death he has forseen for himself is when he is killed for trying to lead the Infinite Dragon Flight. This is just -the way things have to be-.

Maybe he knows this is how time has to flow. Maybe there is a much grander reason for him to die after trying to rebel, that we cannot yet understand. Just tossing out a theory.

Comment by SykotikKytten

Apparently, my future self is a hemo rogue.This is amusing, seeing as i have not touched hemo.Ever.>_>

Comment by Elminstar

well how about this, given Nozzie knows how he will die maybe he isn't trying to prevent it but working towards causing it. say the fate that was revealed to him was that he would create the infinite dragonflight out of a desire to stop a heap of the bad things that happened in the past and so eventually dies after being thwarted many times by adventurers and his own flight,a bit farfetched i know but would be a good twist to the "gone mad and wants to play god" idea

Comment by Elminstar

pretty much the same as i thought when i did the quest, because where does it say he has to be trying to stop himself dying with the whole infinite dragonflight business

Comment by brionl

Apparently, the future me is a melee hunter. The shame. Didn't use my pet, didn't use a ranged weapon, just stood there and whacked stuff. :)

Comment by bomberrus

Future me didn't bring any Grey's Arena Almanac, bugger >..<

Comment by Ladondia

I for one really hope that Nozdormu isn't trying to stop his death but bring it about, being the loyal aspect of time he is supposed to be. Quite frankly I've had enough of the whole, "Aspects are too Powerful and are abusing their powers and they need to be stopped!"

Also in regards to an earlier post, the Nightmare isn't nessicarily an expression of Ysera's insanity but could be that of an Old God that has managed to wiggle its way into the dream, possibly the one whose skeleton is on prominent display in Darkshore.

Comment by failadin

Only thing the pally future self did besides autoattack was Hammer of Justice occasionally...

Comment by Blightman

Feh, apparently all caster future selves have become retarded and melee the mobs. Sad

Comment by catknight890

They were proboly drunk seeing that they said " No wonder i turned to drinking." So, they were just drunk when they were fighting :D

Comment by dec0y

"Future You whispers: Look at you fight; no wonder I turned to drinking."

"Future You whispers: Farewell, . Keep us alive and get some better equipment!"

I'm such a !@#$%^... in the future.

Comment by Dameblanche

Bloody hell, if that's my future me, I stop playing wow. I am a mage, and the cow just whacked around a bit a bit with her staff. Oh, and complained about my gear and left the fight way before the elite was dead. Later when I grow up, I don't wanna be a lvl 80 mage like, that, aaaaw? Daddy? Tell me I won't be like that?

Comment by hostage

well my future me tells me im so bad and no wonder why he turned in to drinking, well...... ima tankadin with 16k hp....... wonder how me at lvl 80 got the half the hp i got now...................

Comment by Regs

If you notice closely after completing this quest,Chromie hesitates to reply about whether or not Nozdormu is the leader of the Infinite dragonflight,she brushes it off and changes her theory of "revealing the leader" to being "thankful he's alive and well" and telling us that he's fighting against them.

The reason i think she's hesitating is like..if no one has seen or heard from Nozdormu in ages and no one could contact him..how did she know he was fighting against them..?

Comment by TheHolyMidget

Dosnt Azerothian time depend on Nozdormu's survial? I think it said that somewhere in The Well Of Eterntiy trilogy. And at the start of one of the books, Nozdormu is flying and has a reurcoring dream about his death. Im pretty sure the Ancients told him that the point of his existence was to keep time working. And cant he be at a diference place at each different point in time? Meaning that if he went evil, then anyone who tried to kill him he could just go back in time and kill them.

Comment by Raxiel

When My main met his future self, he was kind of a *!@#, so when he met his past self he made sure to get his abuse in first.

My alt however made out with both her future and past selves.

Comment by Dantarahma

im not sure about other hunters. i jsut did this quest as BM. i had pet out and growl was active. future me was a great tank - pet couldnt even keep aggro of future me.

loved standing back and shooting the mobs to death while having 2 "tanks" runnign around to hold them.

Comment by Maka

It's very funny, if you get transformed into a "holiday" gnome (only availabe during Winter Veil) and do this, your Future You will also be one, looks very funny, when you go out of the "costume", your Future You still looks like a gnome.

Comment by daggersftw

I'm just flying from the q place and i want to say that my Future self is A NOOB! hes a dagger-hemo rogueO_O

Comment by inmanjm

Man, I must be a jerk. Future me left me alone to fight the elite that spawns at the end. First thing I'm going to do when I hit 80 is punch myself in the neck.

Comment by redtokyoboxers

It's obvious that, in the future, we ranged DPS will be so advanced that using spells and bows is just a frivolous gesture.

Comment by speedhaxu

Yes, but if you have X-Pearl Unit Frames, it says that your future self is a warrior ^^

Comment by coywolf

I'm a mage, I started to lose it when the elite came out, and I popped invisibility, hoping it would go over to my future self. Instead, it just completed the quest as soon as I left combat, the dragon dropped aggro, and my future self dissappeared. Maybe you can shortcut the whole event right in the beginning this way?

Comment by booyo

For Rogues If you are in stealth before your future self shows up, then you would not be able to see your future self. Which kinda sucks...

Comment by Strafer

Damn Questhelper. This is the second time it showed me the wrong place. Questhelper pointed to this guy in Eastern Plaugelands, wtf? Then when i was there i realised that he was still there in that tower back in Dragonblight. Now im waiting for my heartstone to coolddown so i can be back there in soon.

:(

Comment by Magramar

As an interesting note, "future you" gets weapon procs! When I saw him wearing the same gear as I, I let the quest fail, equipping Thunderfury before dropping the beacon. I watched him fight and his Thuderfury procced at standard rate, debuffs and all!

...Now I just HAVE to go get my ravager and try this again!

Comment by allforcarrie

72,39 ish. faster to run from wintergarde keep.

future me is a Mele lock that pwns elites!

Comment by garrettsmith1

my future me sayed i turn into an alcholic... well i do tend to drink alot

Comment by Nightlydust

"Future You whispers: Wow, I'd forgotten how inexperienced I used to be."

That's rich coming from a druid in casterform hitting mobs with her freaking staff.

Comment by JangoDarkhand

Uh guys, if you haven't read at least Well of Eternity's first two chapters, than you do not know that Malygos is not evil, just insane, Ysera is not evil, just asleep while her dreams destroy things, Nelfarion is evil, Alexstraza is a goody goody, and Nozdormu is very suspicious, and if he did indeed create the Infinite Dragonflight to stop his own death, than we will eventually know that he is a selfish dragon, and there will a be quest or new Caverns of Time instance where we gotta kill him, with hopefully the help of Ysera, Krasus, and Alexstraza. Also, in The Well of Eternity, Krasus sees Nozdormu in the middle of the anomaly...I am still reading that book so I do not yet know why he was inside the anomaly, kind of like a bug stuck in a web.

Comment by Nartalath

Chromie, the quest giver, first appears in the Ruins of Andorhal (Eastern Plaguelands). Nice to see an old face reappear. :)

As for the whole Nozdormu thingie, here's my two cents: Perhaps, the Infinite Dragonflight are themselves from a different time. In past eons, a younger Nozdormu could have tried preventing his death, creating the infinite dragonflight himself. Since Nozdormu can apparently travel through time, it makes sense that he could have traveled to the distant future when he was still younger than what we see him as in this quest. He only could create the flight in the future, since history does not state that such a flight has existed- if he did it in the past, then there would be mention of them.

The Infinite Dragonflight could have been purposed with preventing Nozdormu's death. And in the present, Nozdormu has realized his folly. Maybe he's seen that changing his own fate will have disasterous consequences on other beings, and now fights with his bronze dragonflight to correct his eronous ways.

Comment by Belse

Seeing how my future self has the same gear as I have I don´t think my arena-career will work out very good...

Comment by Renathras

That's not quite right about all of them going nuts and evil-ish.

Naltharion/Deathwing was messed with by an old god, but say he DID become evil.

Malygos isn't so much evil as he is overreacting (fearing that Azeroth will be destroyed by its magical energies being used up too quickly, like people drinking all of the water out of a well or using up all the minerals in the ground by growing crops without letting it replenish itself.) In a way, Malygos is trying to SAVE Azeroth from premature death. And we all know from Final Fantasy VII (I know, old reference) that when the life energy/magic is used up in a planet and not allowed to replenish, the planet dies.

Ysera is forever asleep, as is her fate and domain, and is currently fighting off some evil in the Emerald Dream (with the assistance of Malfurion and, presumably, a carde of powerful Druids.) The Emerald Dream is sort of an Astral Plane (how people use the term in our own world), a world of combined dreamers' dreams. So Ysera isn't evil either, nor is she insane, she's in her realm fighting something that could potentially cause considerable problems for the world.

So then we have the queen of the Reds, who is totally sane at the moment, and we have our Lord of Time, whose intentions we don't really know yet. So that leaves 3 of 5 "good" (though one overreactingly insane) and 1 questionable (Nozdormu.) So it seems the warranty is still good, for the time being. And for all we know, Nozdormu's actions may be leading to some "good" end. The fatalist argument that he may be simply trying to fulfill the conditions of his own death make sense (or that, in trying to escape it, he causes it.)

...alternatively, for all we know, he could think that his time has come (perhaps that he's becoming corrupted and so trying to fulfill the conditions that he knows lead to his death to spare the world from his own corruption) and so be trying to prematurely cause his own demise. Although it would be interesting if he became a raid boss and, after defeating him, he is saved from death saying that it isn't his time and that he can still be "good", ect, and him being sent off to continue on without the fear of corruption with honor and integrity, ect. You know, stuff like that. ^_^

...something that would be made all the more amusing were it his future self who saves him (and if said future self then died from the exertion, his fate could, in a roundabout way, finally be closed as that would be his ultimate "death", which would also allow his "present" self to go on knowing that he is inherently honorable and noble and all that.) Geeze, time traveling...go fig!

Comment by Arnen

My personal theory is that Nozdormu, having been told that "this is the way things have to be", reluctantly created the Infinite Flight - not simply to lead to his eventual death, but also for some other reason.

Perhaps his death is tied in with a greater event, for which it was necessary to train his successor and/or some champions to aid in a larger battle. He would surely know that the Infinite Flight would be doomed from the start, and thus made them a challenge, but not impossible to overcome. And so his champions, having overcome this lesser challenge, will then be able to save the world from the real threat later on.

....Or something.

Comment by Xtremwarrior

Im asking this question because it would be cool, what if you took off all of your gear when you put down the totem and then put it back on? it would be pretty funny to see he had accomplished nothing but to get all of his gear destroyed...

Comment by Ultravyolet

I was myself... A DK...but I was sure being a !@#$%... She didn't even give me the friggin 'DO NOT DRINK THE PUNCH' advice! So I may drink the punch! She said all the mean things... But yeah, we kicked the elite's ass at the end.. but still she was being pretty mean. But the quest was fun otherwise!

Comment by Arthamus

Wait.. is it even slightly possible that the Infinite Dragonflight are actually the Bronze Dragonflight from the future? I don't know much about the lore so this just came to my mind..because it somehow looks as the Bronze Dragonflight could have been corrupted by the "Corrupted" Nozdormu, from what I've heard about him.

Comment by barooboodoo

Doing both these quests at 80 kind of ruined their charm for me...

It'd sure be nice if your future self appeared as a "Level ? Boss"... I guess I'll have to settle with a melee Warlock though.

Comment by Chardys

Anyone else think that we might see more of this in 3.2? Blizzard has been pretty low-key about what big raid is coming in that patch, and this the only storyline I see them laying out that has the potential for a big raid - reorganize the Caverns of Time to fit it a new portal, have a raid to deal with the Infinite Dragonflight once and for all, with Nozdormu as the final boss.

Comment by Hegah

Craziest thing. My DK didnt get around to doing this quest until I was lvl 80. So, when I did it, I was wearing the same gear and my Future You, had less than 1/2 my hp and was doing 1/3 my damage. I got WEAKER somehow. but I was my future self, so did I get stronger too?

Comment by Pachirisuneytor

I could swear i grabbed this quest from Chromie when I was level 57, I noticed it was red but never expected for it to be so much later ahead...

It would be even better if you helped said future self save himself and then die like you said, but you would go through many epic raid battles and what not, receive a quest item that tells you to go Alexstraza to prove what you have, then all she says is:"Nozdormu? never heard of him"

You wouldn't even get a reward; anti-climatic

Comment by Kabi

Im a prot warriormy future me has 1/3 hp also he does whirldwind...he has a shield just like me

Also he gets confused with time travel kinda lame

Why does he has the same gear as me btw its my future i want top tier items lol

It should have spawned with a really good set looking items but old or some crap like that

Also cant the future me just tell me what the #$%^ is going on?

Quote from Prince Of Persia game:Your journey will not end well. You can not change your fate. No man can.However, there is also quote from the "Next" movie:Each time you look into the future, it changes. Because you looked at it. And that changes everything.

Seems that in WoW they take the first quote in action

Comment by CinBloodstar

The future me actually Bladestormed when I did, I thought that was pretty cool...

Comment by MMOSimca

It makes sense for Nozdormu to be the leader of the Infinite Dragonflight.

As many other people have mentioned, Nozdormu's power gives him to the ability to not only travel through time but also to know every event up until and including his eventual death.

What the other people in the comments here have not mentioned (well somebody mentioned the books but not actually the line) is a quote at the end of The Well of Eternity book 3 that is very important to this discussion:

Nozdormu: "...It is my fate and my curssse to know such things and be unable myssself to prevent them. Know that I now asssk for forgiveness for the wrongs I will caussse you in the future, but I mussst be what I am destined to be... as Malygos is."

The wrongs I will cause you in the future. I must be what I am destined to be. Nozdormu boss next expansion?

Comment by cvoliver

Don't worry about the flying dragons they wont hurt you just run in set it down and watch you and yourself fight off some mobs and an elite easy for a 74 hunter.

Comment by Lynx190

I'm not sure if it's because I stealthed between waves or if it's just a general insult (i.e. suggesting I'm so useless it's like I'm not even there), but my future self said:

"What? Am I here alone. We both have a stake in this, you know!"

Also when I was fighting the boss and started getting beat up, then got screwed by it parrying my Kidney Shot, I thought I was dead for sure. Then suddenly I became stunned, my future self pulled complete threat and I survived at 900 hp. People said before that your future self can finish it off for you if you die, but it seemed like the game just prevented me from dying to begin with.

Comment by Quilan

Let me get something straight...If you die doing this quest, yourself in the future doesn't die, but if your future self dies you in the future doesn't die while doing the Mystery of the infinite, redux. But if your future self accidently gets yourself in the present of doing the quest you don't die in the future resulting in a Time-Paradox... uhhh i'm confused and YAGHHHH thats one mother of a headache...

Comment by Hordemar

Future me asked my GearScore then refused to group with me...I should have just died so he ceased to exist. Don't wanna turn into a #$%^&* ;)

Comment by Amrun

Possible that the universe may implode upon itself if you survive this version with both you and your future self alive, but die on the next one. Possible.

Comment by Spacevixen

Doing this quest as a mage my future self did indeed cast frostbolts at the mobs and I was able to complete the quest no problem. Doing this quest again as a Druid in Cat Form was nigh on impossible as my future self didn't shift forms and only hit the mobs with my staff, dying after about 30 seconds in to the fight leaving me alone to try and kill the elite at the end. Two corpse runs later and I'm scratching my head about how other druids have managed this quest if all druid future selves refuse to shift forms.

Comment by portalfan

Am I the only one who thinks an Infinite Drake mount would be really cool? I like how they're all dark with the blue cracks...

Comment by Lightgil

The future me was bugged when I did they battle on my warrior. I was using Battleworn Thrash Blade, which has about a 1% chance of proccing an extra attack, but for future me it procced about 100 extra attacks over the time of the encounter at what seemed to be a 100% chance.

Comment by akumati4061

Future You whispers: Listen. I'm not supposed to tell you this, but there's going to be this party that you're invited to. Whatever you do, DO NOT DRINK THE PUNCH!Kinda funny because omw to turn in the quest my random dungeon gets ready and there was a refreshment table >.>

Comment by MochaKimono

Just thought I'd throw in my thoughts about Nozdormu here:

I interpreted his appearance as having to do with him being (iirc) the father/progenitor of the Infinite Dragonflight, making him not so much the "leader" as the indirect originator of them, whether or not he actually has influence over their current and future actions (or would that be past actions?...)

Anyway, feel free to correct me, anything to do with all these time-traveling dragons lore-wise can get a little confusing for me...

Post-Cata edit: welp, I was wrong, hah.

Comment by brunorocha

i just realizd something after reading MochaKimono's comment up there:

Maybe the fact that talking about this time-traveling stuff, and bronze-infinite conspiracy theory's are so confusing because: get ready, here it comes:IT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE EXPLAINED like roswell, or area 51, or where da hell is mr. Osama.

OWNED

EDIT: Since Ossy is dead I would take'im out of there but, technically no one knows where his body is so he stays.

Comment by Alfador

Here's an idea.

The Infinite Dragonflight is an ALTERNATE future Bronze Dragonflight.

Think about it. They keep trying to muck about with the timeline, making changes. Ever played the card game Chrononauts? In that game, each player is a time traveler from some alternate future, trying to manipulate events so that their particular timeline comes true.

The Infinite Dragonflight will not exist in the future. They MIGHT exist in the future. That mere possibility is enough for them to travel back in time and try to bring about their own existance, and we see them because their interference predates each point where timelines diverge and we might succeed or fail as adventurers.

So every time you wipe a group in the Caverns of Time, the Infinite Dragonflight happens. But the Bronze Dragonflight of our timeline keeps sending you back to fix it, thus creating our better future.

Since Nozdormu leads the Bronze flight in our timeline, he would certainly lead the Infinite flight in that alternate future. Since he exists in all times simultaneously, the hourglass would simply reveal him as he is. Nozdormu. In past, present, and both future timelines.

EDIT: I had forgotten about this comment until it got rated up to 5, but yes, it would seem that Murozond's appearance and Nozdormu's dialogue in the End Time instance lend credence to this theory...

Comment by Feralterror

I've read the most of the comments here and i have been thinking alot of this. If it is acctualy so that the infinite is the bronze dragonflight corrupted. It means that something or someone made them being corrupted. What if it was sargeras soul that coruppted them and is making them to destroy everything that was against him. But still this cant be true. Because that means he would try to kill medivh in the attempt to open the dark portal. That means that nerz'hul would never come to Azeroth. Would never be the lich king. It also means that the plauge from lorderon would never happen. Maybe the infinite tries to protect the world from itself. Im not saying that they're good. Im just saying that they know what will happen in the future. It means they're trying to make things right. So these things will never happen in the future. Sacrifies has to be done to make the world what it is. Still. How did Sargeras come to Azeroth from the beginning when Aegwynn banished him? Maybe i got something now about the infinite. The infinite come's from the future. Then they must be from the bronze dragonflight. And the only one containing that power, is Nozdormu himself. Nozdormu may be coruppted. Or have they captured him and is draining his power to timetravel?

My final solution is that the infinite knows something that the world does not know yet. And they're trying to protect the world from whatever it is. Or can it be so easy that they're just want to destroy? Are they just something that want the world to be destroyed? These questions remain unanswered.

Hope i've made you get some ideas of what the infinite maybe be. Good luck figuiring it out.

Pretty easy quest. It -is- possible to fail the quest; if your hourglass' hp is depleted it breaks, in which case you'll have to go back to Chromie to get a new hourglass.

The mobs do seem to preferentially go after the hourglass (when you set down the hourglass, it begins to spawn "waves" of mobs, 2 or 3 per time, ending off with a single dragon). So basically make them aggro you instead, and you ought to be set.

Chromie has gender identity disorder, so she is a he. A shemale gnome in humanoid form, a full dude in dragon. His actual name is Chromonu.

This was Orange for me at 72 as an arcane mage and I was able to solo this one. I did however make sure to use mirror image as a means of making it through. Before the final NPC appeared though I did make sure to use a heavy frostweave bandage...Just In Case.

Oh dear i did this quest at level 85, my future me was 80. Work that one out

Comment by Macree

I also just did this quest now, at level 85, while working on the Dragonblight quest achievement. My "future you", interestingly, was still level 80. =)

*Spoiler Warning!*

Christie Golden's Thrall: Twilight of the Aspects confirms that Nozdormu is indeed the leader of the infinite dragonflight...

Why doesn't Future Me have better gear?

Comment by Mpacboy

Damn, in the future I'll have 5k less HP and will not use any skills. I'll also wear the same lvl70 pvp-gear.

Comment by dogmeat55

I did this with Dogmeati, Level 81 Warrior-Protection, I was solo! I argo all of the mobs that came out! While Mini-Me worked DPS, it all worked great! Level up!

Comment by JonnoLives

Here's some practical advice rather than "interesting" discussions about time. Waves of mobs come to attack to the hourglass, between one ond three in a wave, and there's you and your future self protecting it. Your future self will agro one mob and it's up to you to pull the rest, so an AOE attack is a good start if you have one. Otherwise attack and tab.

If you pick them off one at a time or delay in getting threat, the mobs will whittle down the hourglass points and you are in danger of failing the quest.

Comment by rangothAU

id like to point out in end time after you beat the final boss noz says in time he WILL fall to insanity in time.. this means in time to come he goes insane and the infinate is the bronze dragonflight. this would make them attacking the bronze in an effort to stop themselves from existing. which means there truely insane.. lol.. that or sometime in the future his viewpoint just changes and things make sense a different way but at this time it seems insane. he would come back in time to battle himself after he stops everything else 'bad' from happening (like the culling of strat) and him being the final thing wrong with the flow of time and thus must be stopped.. and stopping everything else he did. the present noz knows this and thus end time.. or something like that.. ooohhh my brain

Comment by Artura75

Can anyone help me! I completed this quest 3 times! I killed everything easily enough, even the elite at the end, the hourglass had at least 80% of it's health left at the end but the quest is still showing as failed in my quest log! Is there something I'm missing?

Comment by Electee

Great Scott!

Comment by SkeeterEater

"Actually, that's great news! We had no idea of where or when the Lord of Time had gone to. We just knew that he had disappeared to deal with very important matters."Well, now we finally know the Doctor's name.

Comment by Opalmonkey

I was kinda disappointed that future me didn't have Tier 25 raid gear and a chain of Sargeras' bones...

Comment by Slan1011

Terrible and confusing, while everyone above is arguing about time travel, not one comment clearing up what the heck "The Sands of the Bronze Dragonshine" are, what they look like, how you would know them if you saw them, or how you would know if the quest is bugged because you're in the right place but it's still not working. Making this yet another another colossal waste of time thanks to both Blizz and the comments.

Comment by Dondocool

It turns REALLY awkward when, you're level 90, and the future you is level 80. And it has same stuff as you, even if some items have to have a certain level to wear it. I wished I was a level Boss with 5 million health, with elite title, and Tier 26 Raid Gear and wings, don't you wish that. Yeah. And the Chinplate of Deathwing, The on, Garrosh's shoulderpads, All four mini-sized celestials, The Sulfuron Hammer in one hand, and a Warglave of Azzinoth in the other, and being part of the Bronze Dragonflight. Bad-freaking-ass.

But, I guess, in a future expansion, we downgrade levels instead of uping our levels.

Comment by joannelds

I have never seen so much useless info on this quest since the days of Vanilla! I come here to get tips and tricks on how to complete a quest and nothing more or less - geez guys, take it to the forums plz! I haven't done the quest yet since i came here first but if I succeed, I will bring the QUEST info here. Dang!

Comment by airxraid

Doesn't look like this quest has been updated for Pandaren.I got no insults or general comments from Future You, no interaction at all apart from the basic 'we have to protect the hourglass' and 'good job we did it'. Future me was a pretty rubbish compnaion too, considering I killed most of the enemies while she stood around looking pretty.When I typed /joke, I got this response: Future You whispers: What? Am I here alone. We both have a stake in this, you know!

Comment by Berronaxwins

Fun thing I noticed today with "Future You" if your character has Ironfoe As an active transmogrification on your current weapons, Future You will constantly chain-proc the weapon almost 1shotting all the mobs

Comment by Zoiphy

Around the time when blizz released the ability to purchase gender changes, someone made a comic about this quest where the Future You was a different gender than Past You. LOL. he was like, 'well this is hard to explain....'

Comment by BoSoxFan08

If I do this at lvl 100, how Future is Future Me?

Comment by AchimPeters

Amazing, that really NONE of all these many previous comments so far give the only relevant information to solve the quest, which is the fricking location of this Bronze Dragonshrine. Here it is: It's at 71,38.
